Resilience and Stress in Later Life: A Network Analysis Approach Depicting Complex Interactions of Resilience Resources and Stress-Related Risk Factors in Older Adults

Abstract: Background Emerging systemic approaches on resilience propose that a person’s or group’s adaptability to significant stress relies on a network of interdependent resources. However, little knowledge exists on systemic resilience in older survivors of early-life adversity (ELA) and how ELA affects their resource network in later life. Objective This study investigated how ELA may be linked to the interplay of resources and stress-related risk factors in later life. … Show more

“…Likewise, higher self‐esteem was also found in the resilient survivors only. Given that self‐esteem can be increased with training/therapy, it may be a particularly relevant intervention target aimed at survivors of adversity (Thoma et al, 2020 ). Future studies may look beyond the factors explored here to identify further, specifically protective factors against adversity.…”

“…Past studies have mainly focused on their independent effects (e.g., Maercker et al, 2021;Unger et al, 2014). However, recently there has been an increase in the application of a systems or network approach in the social sciences, which stresses interdependence rather than independence to better understand real-life phenomena, including child maltreatment (Fritz et al, 2018;Thoma et al, 2020). It is of utmost importance to adequately identify these potentially differential pathways to develop effective interventions, as survivors of child maltreatment have been shown to have an increased likelihood of experiencing ongoing violence linked to their insecure adult attachment (e.g., Bonache et al, 2019).…”

“…There is increasing recognition that understanding whether individuals will display resilience under stress depends on the interaction between facilitative and interfering resources present in a specific context (Thoma et al, 2020). Therefore, whether psychologists will experience burnout from their work stress will depend both on their level of resilience and the extent to which they engage in maladaptive coping.…”

“…Despite resilience research dating back to the 1950s, there remains considerable variation in how it is conceptualized (Thoma et al, 2020). Some authors view resilience as a stable individual difference personality trait that impacts a person's capacity to self‐regulate (Klohnen, 1996; Waugh et al, 2008).…”
